Chapter 43 Rewards
"Mother!" Gu Xiaoxiao patted Ye Shi's hand lightly, signaling her to be calm, and then opened the cloak to reveal the large crystal clear grapes inside, and then counted slowly.

"There are still thirty pieces left." After Gu Xiao finished his novel, he looked at Zheng Huwei and said with a smile: "The most important thing for a martial arts practitioner is not how much money he gets, but the advanced skills and cultivation resources. If the guards send all these fruits into the capital, what will they get?"

Zheng Huwei was stunned when he heard the words, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Whoever kills Yang Shoucheng, I'll give him three spiritual fruits!" Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned cold and said loudly.

"You..." Steward Yang's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he was trembling with anger. He pointed at Gu Xiaoxiao and was about to scold him, but the next moment he felt a chill on his neck, and he subconsciously covered his neck On the left side, it was warm to the touch, and the whole person fell to the ground in an instant, blood continued to flow from his neck, and because the blood gushed out, the whole person was also twitching violently.

Gu Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that Guard Zheng would kill Steward Yang so quickly and end him.

To be honest, this was the first time she had seen someone die in front of her, and blood spurted from the neck, especially the bloody kind.

However, she did not show the slightest fear and cowardice.

If she is afraid now, she will not be able to restrain Zheng Huwei and others, and it may be them who are unlucky in the end.

"Miss, aren't you afraid?" Guard Zheng asked with a smile as he took the three spiritual fruits that Gu Xiaoxiao asked Yuan Xiang to give him.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that you guards will kill us all in order to steal these spiritual fruits?" Gu Xiaoxiao laughed at this point: "Although the fifth-grade spiritual fruit is important to you, everyone's life must be more important Well, if I can't reach the Northwest safely, but die on the way, even if my second uncle takes over the Northwest Army, he won't be able to convince the crowd, and he will be the first one to kill you, Zheng Huwei Do you think... can you escape hunting for the rest of your life?"

Guard Zheng fell silent upon hearing this.

"Escorting us to the northwest, these are all your rewards!" After Gu Xiao finished the novel, he threw the burden in his hand to Zheng Weiwei.

"Thank you for the reward, miss!" Zheng Huwei immediately took it over, knelt down on one knee, and said with a look of surprise.

"Thank you, Miss, for the reward!" The rest of the guards also quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Find out the bank notes on him, and let's continue to set off." Gu Xiaoxiao ordered in a low voice.

"Yes!" Jinniang replied, and immediately searched out the bank notes on Guanshi Yang.

"Dispose of the corpse!" Guard Zheng ordered, looking at Steward Yang, who had died of anger, frowning.

"Yes!" Immediately, two guards responded and wanted to drag the corpse away.

"Let's deal with these people together!" Guard Zheng said in a deep voice, looking at the trembling servants beside him.

In this regard, Gu Xiaoxiao did not stop it.

Steward Yang was killed by Guard Zheng. In order to keep the secret, of course the few people brought by Steward Yang would not survive.

Even if the entire Gu family is dead, she won't even blink her brows, let alone these evil slaves, her Gu Xiaoxiao's kindness will always be reserved for her own people, not enemies.

In order to buy off the people under his command, and to silence everyone, Guard Zheng divided up the spirit fruits he got one by one. I only took two pills, and there was nothing left.

After seeing Gu Xiaoxiao, he nodded secretly. He felt that Guard Zheng was quite smart, and his actions convinced the people under his command. Presumably, he would think of a way to prevaricate the death of Steward Yang and others. .

Of course, all of this was out of her scope.

The old lady would not send someone to Northwest to ask her for a crime because of a dead steward, but maybe that old witch hated her to death now, but she didn't treat her like a granddaughter.

But what if someone from the capital comes?If she gets angry, she will send those people directly to Hades.

Without Steward Yang's obstruction, and Zheng Huwei and others benefited, they were very considerate along the way. Gu Xiaoxiao and the others hurried on their way and arrived at the destination of this trip, Weiyang County, Gaoguanhe County, Beining at the end of May.

The Dafeng Dynasty has been passed down for more than 500 years. The territory of the dynasty is very large, with a total of 28 provinces and three counties in each province.

The Gu family started from Weiyang County. Gu Xiaoxiao heard from her mother that the Gu family hundreds of years ago was just a scholarly family in Weiyang County. He won the position of Duke due to his merits, and later his family moved to the capital, and no one lived in this old house in Weiyang County.

Over the years, the old house in the county town is still there, because it is the ancestral house of the Gu family after all, and it will be repaired and taken care of every year.

Zheng Huwei and the others got the benefits from Gu Xiaoxiao, so of course they would not force them to go to the Zhuangzi thirty miles away from the county seat immediately, and that Zhuangzi had already been burned down by the fire.

"These days, I have Lao Zheng to protect you. This is already Weiyang County. The second uncle's confession to you can be regarded as done. I don't need to bother you to send us to the farm." Gu Xiaoxiao Looking at Guard Zheng, he said with a smile.

"Yes!" Zheng Huwei hurriedly bowed and said, "Weiyang County is near the northwest, and the folk customs are tough, and there are often thieves and bandits. Please be more careful, madam and eldest lady. The servant will take people back to Beijing to return to order."

Zheng Huwei remembered that the old lady only said that she would send the wife and young lady to Weiyang County, and give them the fertile land and Zhuangzi to live in, but did not say that they would be trapped there and not allow them to leave.

It's so far away from the Gu family, it's hard to put it bluntly, the Gu family can't do anything, what the mother and daughter want to do in the future is beyond the control of others, even if they live in this old house now, it's none of his business, He just needs to return to Beijing to return to his life.

"Guard Zheng, go slowly!" Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and waved.

"Slave leave!" Guard Zheng knelt on one knee and saluted, and the rest of the guards also knelt for a long time before getting up and leaving.

After they left without a trace, Gu Xiaoxiao began to look at the Gu family's old house again.

The Gu family left Weiyang County after their prosperity, so the old house in Weiyang County has not expanded over the years, but according to my mother, the old house covers an area of ​​two acres, which is enough for their mother and daughter.

"Little... Do we really want to live in this old house? I'm afraid your grandmother will send someone to drive us away after they find out. After all... what belongs to our mother and daughter now is the abandoned farmland and the old house. The burned Chuang Tzu." Ye said with some concern.
